You and I, we were lovers once when the world was young
You were mine, I was yours forever to be forever one
Now we hope we can forgive ourselves knowing everyone carries a token
Of promises made, promises kept, promises broken
What went wrong, we tried to make it work like it worked before
At the time we convinced ourselves there was something more
Now I pray that you'll hear the sound of apologies never spoken
But promises made, promises kept, promises broken
So like a song, that's a sorry tale of a humble heart
When it's sung, we spend half our lives on the saddest part
Can we awake from this dream we've lived with our eyes finally open?
But promises made, promises kept, promises broken
